EmpowerRF San Antonio | Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation

EmpowerRF is an FDA-approved platform featuring four specialized handpieces:

1. V Tone (pelvic floor strengthening)
2. Forma V (vaginal tightening)
3. Morpheus8 V (internal tightening)
4. Aviva (non-surgical labiaplasty).

Dr. Hailparn customizes treatment plans to address your specific concerns, with most procedures taking 20-60 minutes and minimal downtime.

What is EmpowerRF?

EmpowerRF uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to address women’s intimate health concerns through four specialized handpieces. Unlike single-purpose devices like ThermiVa, this platform allows Dr. Hailparn to treat everything from vaginal laxity to labial appearance with customized treatment combinations.

RF energy heats tissue to stimulate collagen production, tighten existing fibers, and improve blood flow. The controlled heating is comfortable and requires minimal to no anesthesia, making it an appealing alternative to surgery.

The Four Handpieces:

• V Tone: Electrical muscle stimulation strengthens pelvic floor muscles and reduces stress urinary incontinence •
• Forma V: Surface RF improves vaginal tightness, lubrication, and tissue quality
• Morpheus8 V: Fractional RF with micro-needling for deeper internal tightening and incontinence treatment •
• Aviva: Fractional RF for non-surgical labiaplasty and external tissue tightening

EmpowerRF Treatments: Which Is Right for You?

V Tone (Pelvic Floor Strengthening)

Weak pelvic floor muscles after childbirth or with age lead to stress urinary incontinence—leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise. V Tone uses intravaginal electrical stimulation to strengthen these muscles more effectively than Kegel exercises alone. The 30-minute treatment is comfortable and requires no anesthesia.

Best for: Mild to moderate incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, difficulty doing Kegels effectively

Treatment: 8 sessions over 4 weeks, maintenance every 3-6 months

Forma V (Vaginal Tightening & Moisture)

Vaginal laxity and dryness from childbirth, hormones, or menopause reduce sensation and cause painful intercourse. Forma V uses gentle surface RF to tighten vaginal walls, improve lubrication, and enhance sensation. (For women seeking even greater improvement in sensation, Dr. Hailparn may recommend combining Forma V with the O-Shot.) It feels like a warm massage with no anesthesia or downtime.

Best for: Mild to moderate laxity, dryness, painful intercourse, mild incontinence

Treatment: 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, annual maintenance

Morpheus8 V (Internal Tightening & Incontinence)

For more significant tightening or persistent incontinence, Morpheus8 V combines RF with micro-needling to deliver heat deep into vaginal tissues. This creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger intensive collagen remodeling for more dramatic results than surface-only treatments.

Best for: Moderate to significant laxity, persistent incontinence, women needing results between non-invasive and surgical

Treatment: 1-3 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart, topical numbing or local anesthesia used

Aviva (Non-Surgical Labiaplasty)

Enlarged labia minora or saggy labia majora cause physical discomfort and self-consciousness. Aviva uses fractional RF with micro-needling to reduce labial tissue volume and tighten skin—without surgical excision. While it provides moderate improvement, it cannot achieve the dramatic reduction of surgical labiaplasty. Beyond the labia minora, Aviva can address excess clitoral hood tissue and mild labia majora sagging—all using the same RF technology without surgical excision.

Best for: Mild to moderate labial enlargement or sagging, women wanting to avoid surgery

Treatment: 1-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, local anesthesia for comfort

Conditions EmpowerRF Can Address

Pelvic Floor & Incontinence: Stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence • Pelvic floor weakness after childbirth • Weakened pelvic muscles

Vaginal Concerns: Vaginal laxity (mild to moderate) • Reduced sensation during intimacy • Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse • Loss of vaginal tone

External Concerns: Enlarged or asymmetric labia minora • Saggy, wrinkled labia majora • Enlarged mons pubis • Chafing or discomfort

Benefits of EmpowerRF

Multiple Concerns, One Platform: Four handpieces address incontinence, tightening, dryness, and labial concerns without multiple devices or referrals.

Customizable Intensity: Options from very gentle (Forma V) to more intensive (Morpheus8 V, Aviva) matched to your needs.

Surgical Alternative: For mild to moderate concerns, EmpowerRF achieves meaningful improvement without surgical risks or extended recovery.

Minimal Downtime: Most treatments allow return to work within 1-3 days versus 4-6 weeks for surgery.

In-Office Convenience: All treatments performed in Dr. Hailparn’s office in 20-60 minutes—no hospital or surgical center needed.

Gradual, Natural Results: Collagen production develops over weeks, so improvement looks completely natural.

EmpowerRF vs Other Treatments

vs ThermiVa: ThermiVa offers gentle, single-approach surface heating ideal for very mild concerns. EmpowerRF provides four different handpieces with multiple treatment depths for moderate concerns. Choose ThermiVa for minimal intervention; choose EmpowerRF for more versatility and significant improvement.

vs Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation: Surgery provides dramatic tightening with 4-6 weeks recovery and costs $9,500+ (all-inclusive- surgeon’s fee, facility, anesthesia, follow-up visits). EmpowerRF (Morpheus8 V or Forma V) offers moderate tightening with 1-3 days downtime and the cost ranges from $3,800-4,500 (depending on the number of areas treated) for 3 treatment sessions. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery is better for severe laxity; EmpowerRF is better for mild to moderate concerns without surgical commitment.

vs Surgical Labiaplasty: Surgery achieves dramatic reduction with 3-4 weeks recovery. Aviva provides moderate reduction with 3-5 days downtime at lower cost. Labiaplasty surgery is better for severe enlargement; Aviva works for mild to moderate concerns or trying non-surgical options first.
